Pacific Pasta And Grill

What Pacific Pasta And Grill does

Pacific Pasta & Grill is a family-owned Italian restaurant and catering business headquartered at 603 Goethals Dr., Richland, WA in the Tri-Cities market of Washington state. The company operates a dine-in restaurant serving pasta, salads (Caesar), and dishes such as Pad Thai across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with take-out and curbside pickup supported by phone-ahead ordering and third-party delivery partnerships with Uber Eats and local operator TCFoodDudes. Its catering division, co-led by Mary Sue and Niki as a mother-daughter team, provides full-service event catering segmented into three offerings: A la Carte Catering for casual events and business lunches, Wedding and Event Catering with complimentary tastings for parties over 75, and a dedicated Holiday Catering 2025 line for seasonal events.

The underlying technology stack is a standard SMB hospitality configuration rather than a proprietary platform: the website (pacificpastaandgrill.com) hosts menus and catering information, HoneyBook is used for inbound catering booking workflows, Square powers the gift card program, and delivery is extended via third-party platforms. Pricing is pay-as-you-go at the restaurant and a la carte for casual catering, with multi-event packages for weddings and large functions; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Revenue is generated through three streams: traditional restaurant dine-in and take-out sales, professional catering services for events (weddings, corporate, memorials, private celebrations), and third-party delivery commissions. Customer segments are horizontal across both use cases — restaurant patrons (SMB/individual consumers) and event clients — with the strongest demand signals in wedding and corporate catering. The company was voted 2023 Tri-Cities Best Caterer, relocated its restaurant in 2024, and continues to operate with regular weekday and Saturday hours, closed Sundays.
